Special Value Offer: Beatien Yazz Painting of a Local Navajo Horse Race - Rare Black and White [SOLD]

Special Value Offer: we have been authorized to offer this painting at a 1/3rd price reduction from the original price of $1500 to a new price of $1000.

Judging by the paintings we have had at the gallery in the past 15 years, it appears that Beatien Yazz produced very few black on white paintings. In this painting, he portrays two young Navajo boys horse racing to the pleasure of the group of adults sitting around watching.  In the background are more horses and riders.

The black pigment used in this rendering is very strong, producing a good contrast with the white background.  His treatment of the rock formations in the far background is very modern in concept, something a little different from past paintings.

As we have seen in many paintings by Beatien Yazz, he was very versatile and extremely talented.  His drawings of the people in the painting are very well executed.

Condition: appears to be in original condition

Provenance: from the collection of a family from Colorado
